The Process:

Medical History

The doctors will ask some of these questions and more:

Serious illnesses among other family members

Illnesses that you had when you were younger or may have now, such as asthma, diabetes, or epilepsy

Previous hospitalizations or surgeries

Allergies

Past injuries

Any medications that you are on

Does the athlete have asthma (wheezing), hay fever, or coughing spells after exercise?

Has the athlete ever stopped exercising because of dizziness or passed out during exercise?

Has the athlete ever suffered a heat-related illness (heat stroke)?

Physical Exam

During the physical part of the exam, the doctor will usually:

Record your height and weight

Take a blood pressure and pulse (heart rate and rhythm) reading

Test your vision

Check your heart, lungs, abdomen, ears, nose, and throat

Evaluate your posture, joints, strength, and flexibility

Why it’s important

The exam helps determine whether it’s safe for you to participate in a particular activity. Most states actually require that kids and teens have a sports physical before they can start a new sport or begin a new competitive season.
